“So now, barring an unexpected trade, the #Chargers say Melvin Gordon can play for $5.605 million or not play at all https://t.co/ibxORCSDK5”

@ChrisPartlow you could be right

Everyone's worried about week 1 not the ramifications of week 1 reality

Aka what if we're all wrong and he's the only one that knows it

Im really hoping Todd Gurley looks good as ever week 1

Not trying to posture here just saying it is very possible

@ChrisPartlow I hope you’re wrong and he’s back by week 4. Hell they have any easy schedule the first 5 weeks and at worst should be 4-1. If they lose 2 of the first 3 games, I think the $10 mill this season will be back on the table.

So Melvin isn’t at risk of losing face or saving face. His agent and the Chargers are in disagreement. Once Melvin and his agent test the waters and see what’s out there, they can easily reverse course. Melvin will just say I was trusting the business people

It’s nowhere near personal for the GM or Gordon

Why in the world would he be back by week 4 the way this is going? Serious question

He has more leverage the longer the season progresses

That's interesting @wintheweek. If he can spin it someway, maybe there would be hope. But would his people allow him to play for 5.6 and likely be run into the ground this season, lessening his value for next year?

@ChrisPartlow it's clear though he wants money now

Would u trade ekeler for Edelman?

Scroll up a hundred messages and you’ll see my thoughts

So why wouldn't he just wait for rb N to get hurt?

Trade ekeler for Edelman?

@EbonyLee depends on your team is constructed are you good at rb and need a wr?

And I do think its personal. The media declares winners and losers. And the chargers tabling negotiations today shows they are frustrated with him and they wanted to spank him, so to speak

Yes I got McCaffrey, fournette, josh Jacobs

Whos your WR?

Kirk, golloway, aj green, Allison

Ya i woulddo the trade

Thanks
